Soldiers |
| Dutallee! |
| Dutallee! |
| Dutallee! |
| Dutallee! |
| And when soldiers came |
| Them say them come to make us tame |
| And from that day until now on |
| We were jeered and laughed to scorn |
| Things used to be ire (before the soldiers came) |
| Things used to be nice, so nice now |
| Things used to be ire |
| Things used to be nice, so nice |
| Our country them did enter, yeah |
| Troops trodding left right and centre |
| Everywhere |
| One moment at peace with Nature |
| Now victims of a massacre |
| We got our spears |
| We got our shields |
| But their guns were greater |
| Prepare for a slaughter |
| Give I back I witch doctor |
| Give I back I Black Ruler |
| Me no want no dictator |
| Me no want no tyrant on yah |
| Dutallee! |
| Dutallee! |
| Dutallee! |
| Dutallee! |
| Way down in Africa |
| Where the backra still rules day after day |
| The Black Man is suffering now far more |
| Than when he was a slave |
| Is there a need for war? |
| No |
| Peace my bredren — here them bawl |
| Bodies in mutilated condition |
| Faces scarred beyond recognition |
| Is this what civilization means to me? |
| Then without it I prefer to be |
| So… |
| Give I back I witch doctor |
| Give I back I Black Ruler |
| Me no want no dictator |
| Me no want no tyrant on yah |
| Dutallee! |
| Dutallee! |
| Dutallee! |
| Dutailee! |
